One week later.

"I don't wanna take him!" Jessica whines with a pout.

"I know mom, but it's for his own good." Sam says.

"He's only two months old, he doesn't know pain!"

"He'll be okay, mom."

"Can you still drive us?"

"Of course."

"Thank you. I don't like doctor offices."

"It's fine, I'll be there." He smiles.

"Thanks baby."

***

Jessica sat in the back seat with Grayson as Samuel drove.

"Grayson, I'm so sorry you have to get shots, baby boy. But you are gonna be such a big boy about it, I know you will!" She smiles and softly caresses his arm.

When they get there, Jessica signs in and takes a seat beside Sam.

Jessica takes Grayson out of his car seat and holds him.

"This little guy is going to be so spoiled!  He's always in your arms." Sam chuckles.

"I don't wanna leave him in there, he's more comfortable with me." She says bouncing the baby.

Samuel looks at Grayson looking around the waiting room and says, "You're just so wide awake, aren't you?" He smiles.

Jessica giggles and watches Grayson pursing his shiny little lips out.

"Your guys's baby is so cute!" A woman tells Samuel and Jessica.

"Thank you." Jessica smiles not realizing she was assuming that Samuel was the father.

"No!  I am not the father, I am the brother!  She is my mom, I am hers, I came out of there just like he did, making us brothers! He is my brother!!"

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry!  You look great!" She smiles at Jessica.

"Awe, thank you!"

"Why do they always assume I'm the father?" Sam makes a sick face.

"I'm sorry I look so young!" Jessica shrugs her shoulders and smiles.

"Grayson."

"Oh here we go, Grays. You coming, Sam?"

"Yeah, I'm coming."

Samuel takes the car seat and diaper bag, and follows Jessica to the back.

"Alright mommy, I'm gonna have you strip him to his diaper and bring him out here to get his weight and height."

"Okay."

Jessica starts taking his clothes off and Grayson starts crying.

"I know baby, it's cold in here! Why do they keep it so cold in here, that's crazy!" She looks at Sam.

"I don't know." He shrugs.

Jessica picks him up, rubs his back and bounces him up and down.

"Shh, shh. It's okay baby!"

She hands him to the nurse and that makes him even more upset.

"Oh!" She pouts.

"Grayson, it's okay!" Samuel says rubbing his head.

Once he's finished, Sam takes him and tries calming him down.

They go back into the room and Samuel stands him up on the table, and moves him around like he's dancing as he beatboxes.

Grayson baby talks and smiles as he chews on his little hands.

"Thanks baby." Jessica smiles.

"No problem."

"You're such a good dad!" The nurse smiles.

"Noo!" Samuel whines.

Jessica laughs and rubs his back, "That's my mom!"

"Oh!" She gets a surprised look on her face.

"Yeah, he's my son.. My big baby." Jessica giggles.

"Heh! Well I'm sorry!"

"Why? Why do they do that to me?!" Sam looks to his mother and whines.

"Sam, you're acting more like a baby than the baby is!"

"It just freaks me out!"

"Samuel go sit down and calm yourself." Jessica gives him a hard look, then looks at the chair beside them before he walks over and sits down.

After Grayson's check up the doctor says, "Grayson will need a few vaccinations."

"A few?" Jessica asks with sad eyes while holding the baby.

"Five."

"Five?!" Her eyes widen.

"Yes ma'am."

"Why?!  He's just a baby!"

"It'll be okay.  Most of the time it's harder on the parent than it is on the baby."

"But still.. Five big needles in his little arms and legs." She looks down and softly rubs hi leg.

***

The nurse comes in and Jessica lays Grayson on the table.

She kisses his head and stays right beside him.

The nurse gives him some baby Tylenol and he did not enjoy it.

"Is that yucky, baby?" Jessica asks caressing his little hand.

"Yeah, he spit most of that out.  That's okay!" The nurse smiles at him.

"Okay, Mrs. Shepard, do you wanna hold his arms down?  We're gonna go the ones on his legs first."

"Okay.."

Jessica kisses his head and talks to him in a soothing voice.

"Look at you being such a good boy!" She smiles.

*Poke*

Grayson's eyes slightly widen and he freezes like he's shocked by the pain.

His lips pout and his face turns red as he starts crying loudly.

"Oh my baby!  You're okay, sweet boy!"

"You're doing so well, Grayson!  Just two more then we'll give you a break, buddy." The nurse says.

The more shots he gets, the louder he screams.

"Oh Grayson!  Baby boy, I'm so sorry!" Jessica picks him up and walks back and forth to sooth him.

"I feel so bad for him!  He's never cried like this before.  He's never been so hurt." Jessica says with a tear running down her cheek.

"Hey buddy, you're okay!" Samuel smiles at him and gently pinches his cheek.

After five minutes, Grayson is finally starting to calm down.

"Alright, two more and then you're all done!" The nurse smiles.

Jessica sits him on her lap and Grayson narrows his eyebrows.

"Oh he is not happy."

"It's okay baby boy, you're almost done!  You're doing such a good job!" Jessica pats his leg.

The nurse pokes him again and Grayson screams.

"Shh, shh, you're okay, little man!" Samuel says kneeling down in front of him.

Grayson waves his arms and moves from side to side.

"Baby boy!  We need to be still, okay?" Jessica adjusts him as he arches his back.

"Last one!" The nurse pokes him one last time and he screams yet again.

"That's it!  You're all done, sweet boy!  I'm so proud of you!" Jessica kisses him.

Jessica put his clothes back on him and held him till they got to the car.

Grayson was still softly crying and was not at all his usual smiling self.

"Baby, it's all over!  Can I see your handsome smile?" Jessica plays with his cheeks.

"Oh he's sad." Jessica says with a long face.

Grayson turns his face from Jessica and she pouts.

"I didn't do it!" She whines.

"What is he doing?" Sam asks from the front.

"He's ignoring me."

Samuel chuckles and Jessica says, "It's not funny!  Grayson!"

He starts whining, so Jessica puts her hand on him and says, "You're fine!  You're all done.. Mommy is so proud of you being such a big boy!" She smiles.

"Now smile!  Smile for Mama!"

He looks at her with an angry face and Jessica laughs.

"Where's my smiley baby?!" She says cutely.

"You paid for him to get poked, he's mad at you!"

"Samuel!"

"It's true!" He laughs.

"No it's not!  I didn't want him to be in pain!  My poor baby!"

"Were you this sad with me?"

"Are you jealous?"

"No!  I was just asking."

"Of course I was!  I don't like it when my babies are hurt!" She pouts.

Grayson looks at her and Jessica says, "Oh you are just So mad at mama!

..Grayson.. I love you." Jessica smiles.
